Wall Ivy
When looking for a way to cover an unattractive crack in a wall, or an old rusty shed, look no further than wall ivy. Wall ivy makes perfect cover for any vertical surface that needs to look better. There are several types of wall ivy to choose from, and each has its own characteristics and limits when it comes to where to grow them and how.
Most wall ivies are easy to care for, needing only moist soil and partial sun. One of the most flexible wall ivies is the Boston ivy. This wall ivy will grow up to a height of sixty feet, or roughly five stories of a building. This wall ivy is the most common choice for business or home owners. The Boston ivy is easy to care for and thrives on many types of soil.

Another important note of wall ivies is that most are evergreen. This makes them suitable to cover just about anything year round, and they will cover anything in their path. Unlike deciduous vines, which lose their leaves and leave behind a mass of unattractive stems, wall ivy will retain the green leaves throughout the winter season.

One important note to wall ivy is that it will cover anything. This includes other plants that may then die from lack of proper sunlight. It is important to keep wall ivy trimmed to maintain control of this versatile plant.
